Overview

About 40 Church Meadow

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

40 Church Meadow is a four-bedroom detached house in Barton Mills, Bury St. Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds (IP28 6AT). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 sits 125.1% above the 2008 sale of £203,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 17.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
